    For Immediate Release Thursday, January 10, 2019 Contact: Ryan Hornaday, EVP/CFO & Treasurer [email protected] 317.266.0100 Emmis Announces Third Quarter Earnings Outperforms markets both quarter and year-to-date Indianapolis...Emmis Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: EMMS) today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ending November 30, 2018. Emmis’ radio net revenues for the third fiscal quarter were $28.7 million, down from $34.0 million in the prior year. Sales of radio stations (KPWR in LA in August 2017 and four radio stations in St. Louis on April 30, 2018) make Emmis’ reported results not comparable year-over-year. Pro forma for all radio station sales, Emmis’ third quarter radio revenues, as reported to Miller Kaplan, which excludes barter and certain other revenues, were up 5% in markets that were up 2%. “With this quarter’s strong performance, Emmis is now outperforming its markets through the first nine months of this fiscal year– quite an achievement,” said Emmis Chairman and CEO Jeff Smulyan. “Political revenues certainly helped, but we also saw growth in our core advertising categories, all of which contributed to Emmis having its strongest quarter in four years. New York and Indianapolis both outperformed their markets and continue to produce strong ratings, which should help sustain Emmis’ revenue growth. That certainly appears to be the case in January and February, where both months are pacing up mid-to-high single digits.” A conference call regarding earnings will be hosted today at 9 a.m. Eastern today by dialing 1-517-623-4891 with passcode Emmis.

At a press conference in Washington with FCC Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein, the groups called for a crackdown on stations that present corporate-sponsored videos as genuine news to an unsuspecting audience. CMD, which unveiled the results of a 10-month investigation, found scores of local stations slipping commercial “video news releases,” or VNRs, into their regular news programming. The new multimedia report released today includes footage of 36 separate VNRs and their broadcast as “news” by TV stations and networks nationwide, including those in the nation’s biggest markets.

Such arrangements often confer influence or control of one broadcast competitor over another. Failure to account for the effects of such arrangements can create opportunities to circumvent FCC ownership limits and the goals those limits are intended to advance. As a consequence, the Department believes it is appropriate for the Commission’s ownership “attribution” rules to treat any two stations participating in a JSA (or agreement similar in substance to a JSA) as under common ownership. Furthermore, even where a sharing agreement does not create an attributable interest under the Commission’s bright-line rules, the Commission should scrutinize agreements on a case-by-case basis and take action where those agreements do not serve the public interest. 2 Table of Contents Section Page # I.
